Notes

  • The true beauty and glory of God's people would not be in earthly treasures or a rebuilt city. Instead, it would shine from their righteousness. Others would be attracted by this divine gift.

  • A new name shows the change in Zion's status (see Isaiah 62:4).

The servant here commits himself to proclaiming the good news continuously until the glory of Zion is realized.
